this is my re-read of this book for the second time =)
Landon Carter has no thoughts of EVER dating Jamie, the town's Baptist minister, a widower. Besides that, Jamie is just – SO SWEET and innocent. She helps out at the local orphanage, takes care of her father and stray animals. AND – carries her Bible with her schoolbooks.
Landon is a carefree teenager, hardly any serious thoughts except avoiding the responsibilities of adulthood, and in spare time hangs out with his counterpart friends. UNTIL – circumstances take him into close proximity to Jamie. Landon has no serious thoughts about love and marriage – and Jamie has a devastating secret she dare not tell him about.
So the love blossoms, changes Landon dramatically. And then the pain, the unfair pain, comes. So do my inner sobs, because I too remember. Whatever age you are, if you have a close companion, you will also face up to the deeper meaning of love and life.
Maybe you're not ready for such an emotional journey. And that's why you will love this book.
